When you figure in a bundle of monthly cash saved by dumping Hughes/Dish/DirecTV/ATT whatever and streaming TV via Youtube TV, Hulu, Sling, etc., Starlink fees starts to look pretty reasonable (we use Amazon Fire Stick because we already had Amazon Prime Video, but they will all work). I was headed the Starlink direction back then, but while waiting for Starlink to get around to us, we (finally!) got OEC Fiber's buried fiber service out of Norman a year ago.  Absolutely love buried fiber. 100MB/s minimum both up and down 24/7 for $55/month, no data limits, no caps, no slow-downs, no dishes on the roof, no hassles. For $30 more I can bump it up to 1GB, but I have no need for that much bandwidth. A simple three-station mesh router setup provides broadband/wifi covering about 3 acres inside/outside. As for reliability, we have not had a single minute of outage that I know of since installation over a year ago, as long as OG&E does their part. The only down time has been during OG&E service interruptions, and even then my generator will get the fiber modem, wifi, and TV back on line. Needless to say, I'm a big fan of OEC Fiber.</p></blockquote><p></p>
